I recently upgraded my TV to a 65" 4k 120Hz MiniLED TV and now I want to go ahead and also play games from my couch. Basically like you'd do with a console.

I connected my main PC from the other room using a 5m HDMI 2.1 cable, so gaming works flawlessly.

For now I'm using "Monitor profile switcher", to have a one button solution to disable my 2 monitors in windows and switch on the TV in the settings.

This works great and only the screens I'm sitting in front of are active at any one time

Now I'd love to know if there's an even "easier" way to do this, especially maybe a "one button solution" that does something like this and also directly launches a console like fullscreen experience on the TV without having to manually launch big picture mode, playnite or a similar program.

If there is no easy solution for this, I'll either stay in desktop mode or manually launch a fullscreen launcher.

Or maybe one day, I'll either have a dedicated gaming PC for the living room (but not at these prices 😅) or maybe I'll dual boot a linux distro like SteamOS or Bazzite that has a console like experience 😄

I recently bought myself a TCL 65C7K MiniLED TV for my living room.

Everything "TV" works great and initially connecting my PC for gaming also worked fine so far.

But I can't get the TV to accept any 120Hz input.

My GPU is a AMD 9070XT, so the HDMI port is HDMI 2.1b, so no problem there.

I think the cable is "only" HDMI 2.0, so I guess that's why 4k@120Hz isn't working, but it doesn't really explain why it won't work with 1080p@120Hz or even 900p@120Hz, everything even with YCbCr 4:2:0 format to save bandwidth.

4k@60Hz runs fine, same with any other resolution at 60Hz.

I'm also plugged in into HDMI 2, which is labeled 4k/120Hz, so that shouldn't be a problem either. I just tested HDMI 1 (4k/120Hz eArc) and it's the same story there.

Does anybody know why that could be or how I could get a 120Hz output from that TV, at at least 1080p or maybe 1440p?

Edit: I am in the "game" picture mode and tried with the "game master" toggle on and auto, nothing changed either way

For me it's Skyrim.

I like RPGs, I like Exploration. I like Dark Souls, Witcher 3 and similar games.

Overall I should probably like Skyrim, but I've started the game multiple times, back on the 360 and multiple times on PC, vanilla, slightly modded and heavily modded.

The furthest I've come is about the end of act 2 I think, no idea how much side content I did.

I just don't like the gameplay, the combat is boring, neither melee nor magic felt good to me, so I always got bored after a while, even tho the world and the atmosphere are cool most of the time.

One day I will get back to it, I still have the aforementioned save, but I have so many different games I'll probably play before it.

So what is your game? 😄

I recently found my old 60GB Sata SSD and decided that I want to install Bazzite to it so that I can test Linux for the first time. It's not a lot of disc space, but enough to get a grip of how system feels and probably even enough to test some smaller games. And all my other disc space on my other SSDs is full atm (and I think I'm more comfortable with a separate drive for each OS).

The only thing I'm slightly worried about is "secure boot".

I've head secure boot can potentially mess up some stuff, even tho it seems to be no problem most of the time.

If I just leave it enabled, enroll the key during the bazzite install and then just leave it be, how big are the chances that something breaks, either now or later

Thanks 😄

There seems to me no matchmaking at all. We played against people that were diamond to paragon in all splits in over half our games, while we were between gold and silver. They had 3-4k games, we have a combined of like 500.

The entire thing snowballs so crazy, even the games we won you can't play a "normal" game, the entire meta seems to be running around as a 3-4 hero group and farm all the lanes.
People here mocked Overprime bc it was a "Arena brawler, not a moba" and Nitro is 3x worse than OP ever was.

"Support" is always just something that can snowball as well and in every role, instant burst and CC is the only thing worth playing.

Overall, I won't play this again probably, maybe if I really only have under 30min and would need to abandon a normal game otherwise...
